Loose federation (1867-1918) in which the Hungarian kingdom enjoyed self-government and proportional representation in joint affairs (principaly foreign relations and defence) with the western and northern lands of the Austrian Empire. The non-Hungarian part is often referred to as Cisleithania because most of its territory lay west (or "this" side, from an Austrian perspective) of the Leithe river (though Galicia to the north-east was also a part), but in official Austrian parlance its constituent provinces were known collectively as "the lands represented in the Reichsrat ".
